Translation: "The granfondo has been cancelled for “problems related to the security of the course." The Como zone, where in past the gran fondo would take place, has problems with Sunday traffic, above all in October. These problems prevent the closing of the roads during the gran fondo."

I've included the course map (click on image to enlarge) from 2008 should anyone want to recreate the route themselves. The blue is "corto" course and the red is the "lungo".
